    The Cape Town Hi-Fi Club

    Interesting talk, well presented. Jozua has been doing DIY speakers for as long as I know him and has clearly learnt much about that "art" along the way. Thanks J

    Diffusers - Here we go again

    Very nice end product - as with most of these processes the really hard work and hours are difficult to quantify

    Load shedding and ambient noise

    Not sure I am imagining it but everything goes quieter during these frequent load shedding episodes we are being subjected to at the moment. Its not just inside the home (obvious one) but the cars seem quieter, ambient noise outside also seems reduced. Does electricity have some background noise...

    I can see a serious Testing equipment and Vintage gear museum developing and being established just with the stuff Sarel and family dog have in their stashes. I am sure there are other folks with similar stashes - very impressive instrumentation. Stuff I have never laid eyes on and will not know...

Crises in various parts of the world, geopolitical shifts, supply chains, transport etc. The point that stood out for me which links to our "hobby"/interest was Achim's assertion that...
